Answer:

1. It involves multiple trials

2. 2 red: 2 white

3. Process 1 describes cloning and process 2 describes artificial selection

4. Furry Feet

5. Large scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time

6. A lowercase letter

7. 0%

8. rr

9. 50%

10. The allele for white flowers is recessive in the pea plant

Explanation:

1. Repetition, this means to do over and over. This would involve multiple trials and this is done to test the reliability of the results and determine if the hypothesis holds true or not.

2. If you put your cross in a Punnett square it would look like this:

      R    r                            

r     Rr   rr                          

r     Rr   rr

Based on your problem: R = red; r = white

If the genotype would have a dominant allele (R), then the dominant trait will come out, if it has only recessive alleles (r) then the recessive trait will come out. So as you can see there are 2 red and 2 white. So the ratio would be 2:2 or 1:1.

3. Process 1 is considered as cloning, and to be more specific, reproductive cloning. The aim of this is to produce an offspring that has the same genetic make up as the original or parent organism. Process 2 is an example of artificial selection. This is also known as selective breeding where breeders choose certain traits to pass on to the off springs by selecting the organisms that have the traits desired.

4. Furry feet of polar bears provide them extra traction when they walk on snow. The fur also provides extra warmth. They also have foot pads on the soles of their feet that help them as well. Together, polar bear have something that works like snow boots.

5. Large-scale insulin could be produced in relatively lesser time because bacteria reproduce through asexual means. They produce copies of themselves that are genetically identical. An advantage of asexual reproduction is the process occurs in a much faster rate. With that said, insulin supply would increase, which will help many diabetic patients.

6. Recessive alleles in a genotype are represented by a lowercase letter. On the other hand, dominant alleles are represented by a capital letter. Squares and circles are used in pedigree charts to represent the whole genotype of an organism for a specific trait.

7. The answer would be 0% because cystic fibrosis is a RECESSIVE gene disorder. For it to be expressed or observable in an individual , t<u>hey should have two recessive alleles</u>. As you can see in the end result, none of the offsprings have 2 recessive alleles. The genotype Aa, has a recessive allele, but it will not be expressed because the dominant trait will mask it.

8. When we talk about homozygous, this means the alleles are the same. And when you say heterozygous, this means that the organism would have a dominant and recessive allele. the recessive llele is represented by a lowercase letter. So if the organism is homozygous recessive, the genotype would have two lowercase letters. (rr)

9. The scenario shows the genotype is pp. This means that the pea plant is homozygous recessive. As explained before, recessive traits are represented by lowercase letters. So this would mean that the white color is a recessive trait. The answer would then be the allele for white flowers is recessive in the pea plant.

10. Mitosis and meiosis are both forms of cell division. Mitosis produces daughter cells that are exactly the same as the parent cell, while Meiosis produces daughter cells that are different. They produce what we call haploid cells, which has only half the chromosomes of the parent cell. Gametes or sex cells are produced through meiosis, while body cells are produced through mitosis.

The following statements are incorrect:
A. Scientists believe that DNA may have existed before RNA - Scientists actually believe the opposite - RNA may have existed before DNA.

The prostate gland is described in all of the following ways​ except:
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option- D.

Explanation:

The prostate gland is a walnut-shaped gland present between the bladder and penis.

The prostate gland is a part of the reproductive system and not the urinary system as it helps in the nourishment and protection of the sperm cells. It secretes a fluid which contains enzymes like phosphatases, lytic enzymes and antibiotics which helps in the protection and passage of sperm to the egg cell.

Thus, option- D is the correct answer.

Which of the following best describes the pattern of microbial death? Which of the following best describes the pattern of micro
____ [38]

Answer:

The cells in a population die at a constant rate

Explanation:

Microbial death is the loss of the ability of microbes to reproduce and survive in an environment. When a given microbial population is given a treatment, the microbial cells die at a constant rate. Microbial death rate  is not dependent on the specie and nor on the antimicrobial agent.

Therefore, the microbial cells in a population does not die at once but die at a constant logarithmic rate; the cells decreases exponentially as nutrients decreases and waste product increases.

For example, if 500,000 microbes are treated or in a nutrient depleted environment and 50,000 microbes is left after 1 minute, by the next minute under the same condition 5,000 microbial cells will be left and this pattern will continue, this explains exponential decrease

Diatoms are planktonic unicellular eukaryotes commonly found in oceans and lakes. They contain chloroplasts that have four membr
Zepler [3.9K]

Diatoms contain chloroplasts that have four membranes. These four membranes are evidence of secondary endosymbiosis (Option c).

<h3>What is secondary endosymbiosis?</h3>

Secondary endosymbiosis is a hypothesis used to explain why diatom chloroplasts have four membranes.

According to this hypothesis, diatoms received different genes from distinct photosynthetic and non-photosynthetic ancestors.

The acquisition of genes of different ancestors led to diatoms having chloroplasts with four membranes.

In an element's square on the periodic table, the number with the greatest numerical value represents the
Goshia [24]

In the square of an element on the periodic table, the number with the highest numerical value represents the atomic number.

  • atomic number.

<h3>What is the atomic number Z?</h3>

The atomic number is represented by the letter Z and indicates the number of protons (p) in the nucleus of the atom. This quantity is characteristic of each chemical element.

With this information, we can conclude that The atomic number, represented by the capital letter Z, corresponds to the number of protons in the nucleus of atoms (Z = p).
